Product Description
Two cubes from Cube World Series 3. Cube World Series 3 introduces 4 entirely new and different characters: Chief, Toner, Dash and Sparky. Each man lives in a different coloured cube and has a colourful personality to match.... Meet Chief. The policeman with a colourful way of providing safety and security to the cube world population. Then there's Toner - he's a corporate desk jockey who doesn't know the meaning of organisation and frequently loses the plot. Dash is a different cube of pixels. He's a delivery man, always in a rush to keep every expectant customer happy. He has a few unfortunate incidents with a few parcels, but that's part and parcel of the job! Last but not least, there's Sparky. He's the most clumsy electrician to ever qualify from the Cube World school of DIY - he works on his cube day and night, with hilarious consequences! Place your cubes side by side or stack them high and that's when the fun really kicks off! Glad of some like-minded company, these cheeky little chaps sneak off to one another's cube to say hello! What follows is anyone's guess. A friendly chat. A riotous party. A fight. Maybe even a spot of bungee jumping. But if they're misbehaving, don't worry. Each cube is built with interactive motion sensors, which means you can shake it, tilt it or even turn it upside down, causing your stickmen to fall about. 2 cubes included - each measures approximately 5cm x 5cm x 5cm - perfect for sitting on your desk.

Very Entertaining Toy

These things are too cool. We bought them for our 10 year old grandson, but we found ourselves playing with them for the longest after he opened them for Christmas. Each cube is neat on its own, but they are really funny when you put them together. I love how the characters leave their own cube to visit their neighbors.

Amusing Toy-Cube World

I bought Cube world for my son last year and I bought another set this year for my niece who is mentally handicapped. It's fun to watch the "Stick Men" interact. The things they do are like slapstick comedy. Simple and funny. It's the kind of toy you can get tons of entertainment from, especially if you bring it back out after a few months. My niece is mesmerized by them.

I realize this is a "toy," and toys are generally thought to be for kids.
This misconception causes and undervaluing of toys, and of play, and unfortunately deludes the marketplace.
It manifests here in the fact that these fellows turn off after 4 minutes, so if you want them to stay on and run across your desktop, you must turn them back on every four minutes. I have 6 cubes total, and do plan to purchase more, so that is 6 button presses every four minutes. Multiply that by however many groups of four minutes there are in an hour, or however long you want them on, and it becomes a lot of button pressing. I miss a simple on/off function.
There are other things that could be included in these units, things adults would be interested in, and kids probably would enjoy as well, things like artificial intelligence, so their behavior is more human-like and less predictable, and memory, so that they don't start from scratch every time they're turned on.
For what these "toys" cost, and how far technology has come, they should do more. These are a great idea, but if they are to survive, they really MUST do more than just be cute and entertaining for four-minute segments.
For their price, they must do more, or their cost must be reduced.
Since I was asked about the educational value, I also wonder what children are taught by the fact that these cube men are all just that, men. There are no women, and they are also clearly not "genderless". They are clearly men, and they are at times violent (!).
Obviously kids aren't going to think everyone in the world is completely male, since they can see otherwise, but they may think violence is an amiable means to interact with your friends. It's not.
Draw your own conclusions. Children are inundate daily with our gender stereotypes, and the only way that can change is if we make it change.
Notice I've still given these items a high score. I like them, despite the problems above, and I would like nothing more than to see them usher in a new era for intelligent toys. It's time for manufacturers to stop being lazy. We require something more entertaining as adults, and for our kids, we should settle for nothing less than intelligent, conscious entertainment.
As for the durability, I can't comment. They seem quite solid to me, but I'm gentle, and I'm not going to toss one around to see if they break. They're rather overpriced for that.
